“The boutique, high-end developer (Datumcorp) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the State Development Corporation of Selangor (PKNS), which is best known for low to medium-cost apartments and houses, offices and retail malls. “Over time, the pockets of land owned by PKNS have become prime real estate and building low-cost developments on them does not justify the value of the land,” says Shytul.
“This is where Datumcorp comes in as a subsidiary that can … undertake smaller-scale, high-value real estate developments,” he says.
Following the positive response to its first launch, Datumcorp has lined up three mixed-use developments to be launched in the next few years — starting with the RM350 million Datum Setiawangsa in Setiawangsa, which is expected to be launched in 2017; the RM1.1 billion joint-venture project with HCK Group in Subang Bestari, tentatively to be launched in 4Q2017; and the RM2 billion Datum In-City in Petaling Jaya, which is still in the planning stage and is targeted to be launched after 2018.
Similar to Datum Jelatek, Datum Setiawangsa will also be a transit-oriented development situated next to the Setiawangsa LRT station. The developer is planning 611 residential units in two towers on a 3.1-acre parcel.
The JV project with HCK Group is located on a 10-acre tract. Datum In-City, set on 15 acres behind the Western Digital and Nanyang Siang Pau offices and next to the Subang National Golf Club (KGNS), has office and residential as its two main components, with a smaller commercial segment.”
